Question

Is their a web site for rating a preschool in Florida?

Answer 1

Not that I know of, but if you have a legitimate complaint or wish to inquire about the licensing status of a preschool:

From http://www.doh.state.fl.us/environment/c...

What to do, if you have a complaint about a child care center.

If you have a complaint about the food or an environmental condition at a DCF licensed child care center, you can contact your local county health department.

If your complaint is about treatment, conduct, accident reporting, behavior, staff ratios or any non-food or environmental issue, contact the local DCF office (Local DCF Office Contact) or local licensing agency Local Licensing Agencies (166K PDF) to make a complaint.  Please have the details surrounding the complaint, date(s) of the incident or observation, location/room within the facility it occurred or was observed, address of the center, and any other pertinent information related to the issue.

If you have a complaint about a religiously exempt child care center, not licensed by DCF or by a local licensing agency, you will have to contact the religious exempting agency for that specific center to file a complaint. There are no environmental health inspections for the physical plant at religiously exempt child care centers performed by the DOH. However, all food hygiene complaints at religious exempt child care centers can be referred to the local County Health Department. Food service is regulated at these centers.

If you are wanting to know about the quality of a preschool, go to naeyc.org and look it up. If it is accredited, that's a very good sign that it is a quality centre. http://www.naeyc.org/academy/web_ready/s...

Answer 2

If you are looking for good childcare NAEYC accredits preschools and only good ones get their approval. You can find one in your area by going to http://www.naeyc.org/academy/web%5Fready...

Also as with any business you can call your better business bureau. You can also check with the state and see if they have any way for you to see their checks on the preschools.

If you are looking to complain about a preschool I would do it through the BBB or the state depending on the complaint. If it's about the business itself then the BBB if it's about the care that the preschool is giving you can call the state.
